Tyton BioScience

Tyton BioSciences is a company that harnesses the power of clean water to achieve the same results as organic solvents to profitably recycle fibers. It uses a clean recycling technology that is cost-competitive with virgin materials.

The company believes in tackling big issues related to the environment, sustainability, and economics. Considering the different challenges faced by industries to protect the environment while improving profits, it has developed a new technology that meets the critical tests of sustainability, profitability, and practicality.

Tyton engineers clean hydrothermal processes to generate value.

• Dissolving pulp: Tyton has developed a textile recycling solution that makes high-grade pulp. The pulp can be used to make viscose and Lyocell type of fabrics. It can also process pure cotton and poly-cotton blends environmentally and economically, shifting the linear fashion system to a circular one.
• Polyester Monomers: The technology can recycle polyester or poly-cotton blends into virgin-grade polyester building blocks. The polyester is reduced to its monomer (terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol) using a clean process, this allows to recover value from old apparel and textiles.

The company has a flexible technology platform that can accept a wide spectrum of starting materials, such as cotton, polyester, poly-cotton, and other non-wood fibers. It can be adjusted to achieve the product specification of customers at an affordable price. It is a leader in the field of apparel recycling and is able to recycle and manufacture products to replace virgin materials without any extra costs or compromise in quality.

Tyton's lab is also equipped to perform a wide range of chemical and physical property tests related to the biochemical, pulp, fiber, recycling, and other applications. Their processes are complemented by certified, external labs and partnerships with universities and research institutes. Its approaches to practical, industry-oriented solutions have generated an expanding intellectual portfolio of patents (granted and pending), trade secrets, know-how, and engineering designs.

This solution can help the fashion, textiles, apparel industries to meet their sustainability goal.
